Veterans ASCEND Strengthen Partnership with DOL VETS Through Renewed Memorandum of Understanding
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 20, 2024 - Talents ASCEND is proud to announce the renewal of its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (DOL VETS). This renewed agreement underscores the shared commitment to empowering veterans and transitioning service members with meaningful employment opportunities through Veterans ASCEND, the flagship program of Talents ASCEND and their non-profit division, The ASCEND Collective.
The MOU reaffirms a collaborative approach to leveraging innovative, skills-based hiring solutions that connect employers directly with the talented veteran community. By aligning resources and expertise, Veterans ASCEND and DOL VETS will continue to address the barriers veterans face in traditional hiring processes while also helping businesses tap into an exceptional talent pool.
“This partnership demonstrates our ongoing dedication to ensuring veterans and military families are equipped with the tools and opportunities to succeed,” said Robyn Grable, Founder and CEO of Talents ASCEND. “Through our renewed agreement with DOL VETS, we are poised to expand our impact, facilitating a future where veteran employment is driven by skills and potential rather than outdated processes.”
The Talents ASCEND platform is a skills-based model eliminating biases and reducing hiring friction by matching candidates to employers based solely on skills and qualifications. The Veterans ASCEND community works to prepare veterans and military family members for employment through training, mentorship, networking, and advocacy. This collaboration with DOL VETS will amplify outreach and create more pathways for veterans to transition successfully into the civilian workforce.
DOL VETS remains committed to its mission of preparing America’s veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses for meaningful careers. This partnership with Veterans ASCEND is a vital step in fulfilling that mission.
Together, Talents ASCEND and DOL VETS aim to set a new standard for how veterans are recruited and hired, creating a workforce where their service and skills are valued.
